Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: This affects chromium (53.0.2785.143-1), google-chrome-stable (55.0.2883.87-1) and google-chrome-beta (56.0.2924.28-1) with the latest kernel on debian testing (4.8.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.7-1 (2016-11-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux) 1. start chrome 2. visit some random website, for example google.com or just wait What is the expected behavior? nothing What went wrong? Chrome (at least the GUI) completely freezes. There is no error message. Log files don't show anything suspicious. Addons don't affect this. The last two lines in the attached log files were added after chrome had frozen. So it seems that at least some process is still active. This happens every time, so chrome isn't usable anymore. Crashed report ID: How much crashed? Whole browser Is it a problem with a plugin? No Did this work before? Yes Chrome version: 56.0.2924.28 Channel: beta OS Version: Debian 8 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 This all started after the last linux kernel update. So I'm pretty sure it's related to the new kernel. I'm not sure if chromium (and chrome-beta, chrome-stable) got updated too in this process.

I ran gdb with chromium, files attached. I killed the application myself. Last entry before freezing was "[Thread 0x7ffff7f13ac0 (LWP 5652) exited]". gdb (7.11.1-2+b1) says "no debugging symbols found". I don't know why. dpkg -l | grep chromium ii chromium 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1 amd64 web browser ii chromium-dbg 55.0.2883.75-1~deb8u1 amd64 web browser - debugging symbols The freezing doesn't occour at the same time and can be within the first seconds or after a few minutes. With the "--single-process" command line option set it doesn't seem to freeze (or at least not yet after several minutes) but the tabs are constantly reloading. I also booted the 4.7.0-1-amd64 kernel and it still freezes. So it's not about the 4.8 kernel. Maybe some other package that had been updated. :/

This looks like out of scope for TE, hence adding the respective label for it to triage further.

Further investigation revealed this to be a XServer bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=846779 This issue can be closed. Sorry for taking your time. :)
